How Is the Shl gonna stack up Next year.

[shlfrog]

Who all is leaving from each team that will be a big effect and who all is gonna step up on those teams? And any ideas on who will win the league

[Ironman92]

Peebles, Manchester and Fairfield should be better next year.

North Adams is always good.

[shljunkie]

I agree, those 4 teams really aren't losing anyone. Lynchburg is losing 5 or 6 seniors, I think? West Union is losing seniors.

[shlfrog]

what about top players from each team?

[TAR HEEL FAN44]

It will be a very good league next season...North Adams is not losing alot of players and Craig Unger will be a senior...Peebles has everyone coming back and they still will be young, with Blake Justice, the Seaman kid and the Arnold kid...they will be a very tough game to play...Manchester is losing one kid, and they will be a good team in the small school division...Whiteoak was very young this last season and rebuilding, you can not count them out...Fairfield has alot of there kids coming back, with Cox being a junior and there young head coach this could be a team to watch out for...Lynchburg is losing everyone, they will be going threw a rebuild year, but dont count them out too...They are very well coached...Eastern is not losing a whole lot...they will shoot there way to the top...Ripley is losing a few kids...I really dont know what they have coming up, but they are very well coached...Fayetteville was young this season...I think they have a shoot at winning the small school division..West Union alot of question marks...time will tell with this team. Can not wait till the season starts...GO DRAGONS!!

How many schools are going to have coaching changes?

[TAR HEEL FAN44]

Dont know that yet.

Fairfield is a team that should improve. Cox will only be a sophomore and it would surprise me if Roark doesn't play some varsity next year. Look for them to be much better. Peebles will also be a lot better next year as long as everyone comes back and they play to their abilities. Justice had as good of a freshman season as I can remember and I don't look for him to do anything other than improve. His mental toughness is especially impressive given his age. North Adams should be very good even though they lose a starter who was a good contributor. Unger, Nehus, Rothwell, and Louden all return as starters and Jimison will be back as well. Bench play will determine how far they go next year. Manchester is always hard to figure out, I think they have good players but for some reason never do as well as they might. West Union may have another rough year as they lose some very good players.
This past season saw a number of freshman make significant contributions at the varsity level with Justice, Michael, and Cox all looking good in their first year. Should be fun to watch these young men develope in the coming years.

As we talk about next years teams, let's say thank you for the memories to all those that are leaving.

[shlfrog]

what are ur rankings on each team in big school and then small school first to last

[BALLER1]

Boomer-

Manchester out did their expectations this year. I believe they werent picked in the top 3 in the small school division this year.

My Picks-

Big School- 1. North Adams 2. Eastern 3. West Union 4. Lynchburg 5. Ripley

Small School- Huge toss up... 1. Manchester 2. Peebles 3. Fairfield 4. Whiteoak 5. Fayetteville

[shlfrog]

what were some of the big surprises and up sets this year in the League

[shljunkie]

I don't know about big upsets because the league was pretty evenly matched this year, no real #1 set apart team. One of the biggest surprises was that Peebles, even though they had a good finish, didn't end up with a better record, as they should have. They let too many games that they should have won get away from them.

[TAR HEEL FAN44]

Samething with West Union...they started to play better at the end of the season.

[sparky]

whiteoak over north adams was huge upset especially on a neutral floor.

[shlfrog]

Yeah thats for sure was Pat even there or was he still out

[shljunkie]

He was still out. Not really sure why you would think WO over NA was such a huge upset especially ON a neutral floor. Both teams won and lost some games they probably shouldn't have and as I said, I just didn't see a dominant powerhouse.

[shlfrog]

Did you not think that was unexpected..even with there coach not there??

[shlfrog]

Well i guess he isn't going to reply so i couldnt make it to the senior game how was it all, how was the dunk comp.

[TAR HEEL FAN44]

It was OK...Matt Green from Fayetteville won...Ash Price from West Union won the shoot out..
